Isn't that an Ansa muffler? I have one that looks like that that came on my car. Similar ones come up on ebay occasionally. Don't know whether you can still get them from MSA etc. Hope it helps Andrew

Mark Glad that everyone is OK. I take it you won't let him drive your 69 car until he is about 40 years old.:classic: My eldest son is at the age where everything he touches he somehow manages to break so I keep him well away from my z.

Bill Must be something about teenagers from Arkansas.

Bad news is top of the rear quarter is a swine to repair as I don't believe repair patches are made by anyone. Good news is a lot of z's in scrapyard should have this section intact as it isn't normally a bad rust spot. What happened to your rear bumper!!!. Did you try and give a 30 ton truck a tow start!!!!:classic:

Stick to the cars Bill, much less hassleLOL What's happening in 2005 that means you can leave Arkansas?

Mike I'll enclose a piece of my old knackered glove box with the templates. regards Andrew

240znz You need to look into the servo pushrods length as well. I'm no expert, but the pushrod on my 72 car is much longer than the one on my 1970 car. I'm sure it has been discussed here previously so if you search the site you will find something about servos and pushrod lengths. hope it helps

240znz They are the same. Although the heater box is different RHD vs LHD the heater core is the same and the outlets in the bulkhead are in the same place regards Andrew

I have produced some paper templates for the glove box sections which I will send to MikeW on Monday. It is far easier to do this than to try and post the measurements here. He should have them in a week or 10 days. Andrew

I would guess something so hard to replace will only be on the car at shows and stuff, to be replaced with a normal rubber one for 350 days a year.

Yeah that really is a nice looking z:love:

You only missed by 3 seconds and $3 though. That was the closest bit of outbidding at the auction end I have seen in a while. When it was $34 with 25 seconds to go I almost thought about bidding if it was going to go that cheap!!!!

Mark As far as I know the earlier 240z's had a clutch master cylinder where the reservoir was at the very front of the cylinder. Later 240z's and possibly 260/280 (I'm not sure about these) had a longer master cylinder and a reservoir further back towards the bulkhead. I have only ever seen one of the genuine early style master cylinders for sale prior to the one I have flagged up, and that was a secondhand one from Bob Zola that went on a buy it now soon after it was listed. This is all the information I have. I'd be glad to hear from anyone who can confirm or correct me. regards Andrew

Carl I think its Sanyco (don't have it here with me so I can't check for sure)

For the purists out there, I have just bought one of these off ebay and it is identical to the original clutch MC from my 1970 car (apart from the cap and it isn't made by NABCO) I didn't think you could get these anywhere anymore. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33730&item=2480951061 Andrew

It's from my LHD car. But I think ( without having checked so I could be wrong) that the LHD and RHD ones are the same. I'll dig the glovebox out of my storage in the next day or so and get the measurements. regards Andrew

Mike I might be able to help there. I think I have a very shabby but complete cardboard glovebox which I can take apart to provide the measurements for. The originals cardboard parts are only stapled together before fitting in the car. Andrew

Chris/Mark I'll let you know how things progress. If I manage to make a passable set of seat protectors I see no problem in making more:classic:

Those items are to be found on the cars that were ( more or less ) on the cars built up to the end of the calendar year 1970 cars plus a few in Jan 1971, not just the registration year 1970 cars. So as Mike says it would be a 1971 year car but probably manufactured dec 70 or Jan 71. hope it helps Andrew

This might have been covered before, but can any one tell me if a brake booster can be tested off the car? like with a vacuum gun? or does it need to be on the car with the engine running for any tests? I have 2 early 1970's servos, one was working when it was taken off ( about 13 years ago :classic:) the other is an unknown but is probably the original from my my 1970 so 34 years old!!! Or given the age of the components should I just get a rebuilt one? thanks for any help Andrew

Thanks for all the replies. Incidentally I stripped part of the engine loom tape of where it was wearing and I found some of the insulation on the wires has cracked and the inner wire is exposed Seems like I will have to strip the whole loom and replace some or all of the wires ( which is probably what I should have done in the first place with a 34 year old wiring loom. Andrew

Wasn't there a thread about whether the z was virtually mid-engined due to the engine being mounted so far back in the chassis
